Thud, thud, thud...Footsteps came from the passageway, and the breathing of Crimson's assassins became faster.It was taboo for assassins to panic. However, the Crimson's assassins, who did not know the number of their opponents, unconsciously magnified their fear infinitely."Come on, f*cking cheer up. Once you kill these people, you will get 200 thousand dollars each!"Bloodhand said through clenched teeth to calm his men.Everyone would get 200 thousand dollars each. There were 30 or so men there, and if they all survived, it would total up to 6 million dollars.Even with Bloodhand's fortune, he felt his heart ache if he had to take out 6 million dollars.However, he had already decided that as long as they could fend off the enemy this time, he would immediately go to Curtis and ask for more money.Bloodhand's loss and the upkeep of the base cost money.With the Lake family's wealth, Curtis would probably not argue with him about these 6 million dollars.While Bloodhand'
"If the Tatum family had only offered money, would you have attacked without that bastard Curtis' approval?"Bloodhand now realized that these people knew about Crimson Assassin Organization's relationship with Curtis."Since you know Mr. Lake is behind Crimson, how dare you come after us?"Aren't you afraid Mr. Lake will go after you afterward?"Bloodhand asked curiously.Even though he was an assassin and the person in charge of an assassin organization, he was afraid of Curtis, the heir of the Lake family.The fear was not about strength but status.The Lake family being called the top family of Ocean City was not for nothing."Curtis?"Let's see if he'll survive these two days. How is he coming after us?"Zander sneered and said with disdain.It was the 50th birthday of the head of the Lake family two days later. Sean had decided to surprise the head of the Lake family on his 50th birthday.The head of the Lake family's 50th birthday was no secret in Ocean City. You cou
"No wonder you are Crimson's leader. You indeed have some skills!"Zander exclaimed and changed the topic. "But if that's all you have, you'll soon be dead by my hands!""Bullshit! I'll see if you can still speak nonsense when I stab a dagger into your chest."Bloodhand took a step back and said as he stared at Zander.Zander smiled, and the dagger he was wielding suddenly became faster.It was the moment when he showed real strength.Bloodhand, who had felt death, was also instantly alert. Staring at the dagger in Zander's hand, he fought Zander's dagger with his own.Ding! Ding! Ding!The two daggers kept clashing, making clanging noises.For a moment, neither of them could do anything to the other, but Zander was still calm, while Bloodhand looked slightly tired as his breathing became heavier.The two seemed evenly matched, but it was Zander who gradually gained the upper hand."Brother Zander got into a fight with Bloodhand."Hurry up and get rid of this trash so we ca
"Since I won't survive today, you'll die with me!"Bloodhand's eyes were red, and he looked like a demon who had crawled out of hell.A dagger gleamed coldly as it stabbed Daniel with blinding speed.Daniel's expression changed at this. He understood the difference in his and Zander's strength and naturally knew Bloodhand was stronger than him."Daniel!""Watch out, Daniel!"Two of the Brown brothers who saw their eldest brother being targeted by Bloodhand also exclaimed.Facing Bloodhand's dagger, Daniel only felt that death had come for him, and he was about to die."How dare you attack my comrade in front of me. Aren't you underestimating me?"Ding!The next second, the dagger was stopped by another dagger, and Zander's impassive voice rang.Bloodhand's dagger was now within a finger's distance of Daniel's face. If Zander had been a second later, the dagger would have stabbed into Daniel's face."Whew..."Daniel heaved a sigh of gratitude and looked gratefully at Zander
Optimus Security Services."Mr. Lennon, Crimson has been wiped out. None of Crimson's members survived."Zander said as he looked respectfully at Sean.Zander did not mention how he wiped out Crimson and only told Sean the result.Sean nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You must have had some luck in wiping out Crimson so quickly.""Yes! But I've found an opportunity to wake everyone up. I'm going to double the intensity of their training later."Zander answered with a chuckle.Sean nodded and said, "Not bad. Make them stronger as soon as possible. Our enemies will only get stronger. I don't want to see anyone die!"Have you made arrangements for the Lake family over the next two days?"Zander immediately replied, "I've informed everyone, but I can't contact the Quartz family. You might need to inform Jadon personally, Mr. Lennon.""Alright, I'll inform Jadon later."Okay, you can leave and rest after working all night."Sean said with a nod.Zander left the office, a
The heir of the Lake family, who had usually been arrogant to anyone, was speaking somewhat obsequiously to the middle-aged man before him. "Even Mr. Winters is here. The Lake family has developed so fast over the years that even Mr. Winters came to the Lake family's manor!""Look at the Lake family's influence now. Even Mr. Winters, who's at the peak of power in Ocean City, won't underestimate the Lake family!""Hehe, don't worry about Mr. Winters and the Lake family. Think about whether your birthday present today will impress the Lake family!"...Many Ocean City's dignitaries had gathered in the manor. They were currently discussing Mr. Winters in low voices.After having a little chat with Mr. Winters, Curtis led Mr. Winters to the manor and had him sit somewhere at the front."Uncle Winters, have a seat first. I'll ask my father to keep you company!"Curtis said.However, Mr. Winters smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Your father is the star today. How can you let the
"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my father's 50th birthday!"With everyone watching, Curtis walked up to the crowd and spoke, displaying a graceful demeanor that a noble heir should have."Mr. Lake, you're too kind. We naturally need to congratulate Old Master on his 50th birthday!""That's right. The Lake family has contributed a lot to Ocean City's development over the years. We should all congratulate him!""Hahaha, Old Master Lake is still as energetic as before. He doesn't look old at all! If you ask me, today isn't the birthday of an old man but a young man!"...Everyone flattered him, humbling themselves as they spoke.Hearing the compliments, Curtis smiled and said again, "My father's the star today. I won't steal his thunder!"With that said, Curtis stepped back, and the head of the Lake family, Kennedy Lake, went up to the crowd."I'm glad you could be here to celebrate my 50th birthday."My home is your home today. Let's all enjoy our
"Is that what Curtis bought you for your birthday? I can't accept that."It's just a piece of emerald. Old Master Lake, don't take it to heart. Everyone in Ocean City knows you like antiques and paintings. I won't take away what you love."I won't take Moon Lake Painting."Mr. Winters waved his hand and said with a smile.Kennedy froze slightly, looking a little anxious as if he wanted to say something, but Mr. Winters interrupted him with a wave.Kennedy said nothing more.With Mr. Winters' position, he could get anything he wanted.That imperial emerald and the Moon Lake Painting were precious to everyone else, but it was nothing much to Mr. Winters."The patriarch of the Willard family, Chester Willard, presents an emerald pendant and a pair of bracelets to Old Master Lake, wishing him happiness and a long life!"The chairman of Tiara Group, Benjamin Settler, presents a pair of antique vases for Old Master Lake, wishing him a long life!"The patriarch of the Xavier family,
